Sharp polemic book by Rabbi Yehudah Aryeh of Modena with harsh claims against the antiquity of the Zohar and dispute against the fundamental principles of kabbalistic thought with a long introduction by Julius Feurst.

The author, Rabbi Yehudah Aryeh of Modena [1571-1648] was among the great scholars of Italy, rabbi of Venice and Florence. Conducted disputes with the Christians on the truths of religion. His composition against kabbalistic wisdom raised tremendous opposition to his ways and harsh criticism of his methods among the great scholars.
